WILMETTE, Illinois - As some suburban Chicago students head off for school this year, they will be confronted with a radical change - their principal, Donald Reed, is now Deanna Reed. Reed's sex-change operation was announced at the last minute, causing quite a shock for parents and students. The school held several closed-door meetings with the parents and principal, and after one such encounter, Janet Stowell told the Chicago Sun-Times, "I'm very unhappy about the timing. The parents were given very late notice. Obviously Dr. Reed knew earlier what his (her) situation was going to be." Some parents suggested the principal start over at a new school, and others expressed discomfort at trying to discuss this new change with their children. The school has hired a clinical psychologist to help teachers explain the matter to the students.
